Theolia Sets Turbines Spinning at Wind Farm in Northern France

Dec. 6 (Bloomberg) -- Theolia SA, a French wind-energy
developer, started operating a project in Magremont, northern
France, bringing its installed capacity in the country to 222
megawatts.

The 15-megawatt project comprises six turbines supplied by
German manufacturer Nordex SE, Aix-en-Provence-based Theolia
said today in a statement on its website. It’s also built a
12.5-megawatt wind park in the same region that it operates for
third parties, it said, without identifying them.

France had a share of about 7 percent of Europe’s wind-energy market at the end of last year, amounting to about 6,800
megawatts, according to the European Wind Energy Association.
